DxO DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta Won’t Support 40MP X-Trans 5 files Initially

Share

Back in Februrary DxO announced DxO PureRAW 5.

There are several substantial improvements such as a new redesigned interface and local adjustment.

Also announced, DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta. In their marketing material they write:

Fujifilm fans will be delighted to see what’s included. X-Trans images have never looked this good

However, what they did not say is that DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta won’t work with 40MP X-Trans 5 files.

When asked about it by Petapixel, DxO acknowledges the error in communication as you can read at PetaPixel here. DxO clarified to PP:

First, let us clarify the camera support situation: both DeepPRIME XD and the new DeepPRIME 3 technology which will be introduced in DxO PureRAW 5 work with all sensors — including 5th-generation X-Trans sensors.

Only the DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta model does not yet support these 5th-generation X-Trans sensors.

The reason why the new DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans BETA technology carries the ‘beta’ label is because, despite its promising potential, it does not yet meet our standards in terms of result consistency. And specifically for the 5th-generation X-Trans sensors, we were not satisfied with the image quality achieved

As a result, we decided to remove support for these complex sensors from the initial launch and plan to reintroduce it in a future release.”

So what if you pre-ordered DxO PureRAW 4to get the free upgrade to DxO PureRAW 5 once released? DxO says to PetaPixel:

any customer who recently purchased PureRAW 4 with the intention of upgrading to PureRAW 5 and is not satisfied will be fully reimbursed

DxO PureRAW 5 will be available on April 15, and if you pre-order DxO PureRAW 5 now, you will get a copy of DxO PureRAW 4 in the meantime.
